Your new RTC driver seems to work for me (thinkpad x60), but no, I
can't get wakeup using RTC to work:

root@amd:~# echo HDEF > /proc/acpi/wakeup
root@amd:~# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device  Sleep state     Status
 LID       3            * enabled
SLPB       3            * enabled

USB7       3             enabled
HDEF       4             enabled
root@amd:~# sync
root@amd:~# sync; /tmp/rtcwake -s $((2 * 60)) -m disk
rtcwake: wakeup from "disk" using rtc0 at Sun Aug 27 16:54:49 2006
root@amd:~#

Any ideas? (I tried suspending to RAM, too; no change).

Is acpi-rtc code likely to be merged?
